B.C. Timber Resources.

Krom the Vancouver Lumberman and Contractor the
following interesting resume is taken of a bulletin of the
timber resources of the province issued by the Provincial
Bureau of Information: ;

The introductory table shows that there are in the
province 182,750,00u acres of timber land, the total for the
entire of Canada being 1,657,600,000 acres, this immense
area being almost equal to the combined timber acreage of
tie other timber countries of the wurld.

Next to her great treasury of minerals, the bulletin
points out, the most readily available, if not the must im-
portant of British Columbia’s natural resources is her
immense timber reserve. British Columbia may now be
raid to possess the greatest compact area of merchantable
timber on the North American continent, and though great
forest fires have raged in the interior in the yeara gone by
the coast districts possess the uwajor portion of the ch»ice
timber, and there, by reason of the dense growth and the
humidity of the climate, the ravages of fire have not had
any appreciable effect on the supply.

As far north as Alaska the coast is heavily timbered,
the forest line following the indents and river valleys and
fringing the mountain sides. Logging operations so far
have extended to Knight’s Inlet, a point on the coast of the
mainland opposite the north end of Vancouver Island.
Mere the Douglas fir, the most important and widely dis-
persed of the valuable trees, disappears altogether, and the
cypress, or yellow cedar, takes its place. North of this
cedar, hemlock and spruce are the principal timber trees.
It will be of interest to know that Douglas fir was named
ufter David Douglas, a noted botanist, who explored New
Caledonia in the early twenties of last century. It is a
very widely distributed tree, being found from the coast to
the summit of the Rocky Mountains, and as far east as
(‘algary and as far north as Fort McLeod. On the coast it
attains iramense proportions, is very high and clear of
imperfections, sometimes towering 800 feet in the air and
having a base circumference of from 30 to 50 feet. The
best averages, however, are 150 feet clear of limbs and five
to six feet in diameter. This is the staple timber of com-
merce, often classed by the trade as Oregon pine. It is
scientifically describedjjas standing midway between the
spruce and the balsam, and in the opinion of Professor
Macoun, the Dominion naturalist, is a valuable pulp-
making tree.

The Giant Arbor Vitae (cedar) is next to the Douglas
fir in importance in British Columbia, where it attains its
greatest size on Vancouver Island, along the coast and in
the lower parts of the rivers of the coast range. It is rarely
found in the dry interior of British Columbia, but is abuna-
unt in the river valleys on the slopes of the Selkirks and
Coast ranges. Though seldom found more than 150 feet
in height, in circumference it rivals the Douglas fir, trees
of from eight to ten feet in diameter not being rare, and
they are occasionally found much larger. It is chiefly used
in the manufacture of shingle, for which purpose it ia un-
equalled by any other wood. -

There are over 100 saw mills in the province, big and
small, with a combined daily capacity of over 2,000,000
feet, but this limit has never been reached, the annual cut
running between 300,000,000 and 350,000,000 feet. ‘The
acreage of timber under lease ia about 2,000 square miles,
and the total area of forest and woudland is estimated by
the Dominion statistician at 185,554 square miles, or 132,-
754,560 acres, but this must not be taken as all of the
present commercial value, as much of it is covered with
small trees, only fit for fuel and local lumber, which would
not be considered as “timber” by loggers, whose present
methods of selection are very destructive, as they choose
only the largest and best of the trees. In a few years from
now wheve timber by reason vf its scarcity elsewhere be-|
evmes more valuable, much that is now discarded by the|
timbermen will be gladly utilized, and in all probability,
old limits will be eut over several times

The dance given in the Windermere

jovanle affair, and the few present from

United States Senator David Davie, of
Iilinvie, once upon atime got off this
and it probably will never quit going the
rounds of the prese: ‘‘Every veur every
local newepaper gives froin 500 to 5,000
free lines for the Lenefit of the commun-
ity in which it is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The edito:
in proportion to his means does more
jor h.e town than any other man. He
ought to be supported not because you
happen to like him or admire hie wiit
ing, but becanse a local paper is the best
juvestment a community can make. It
may not be crowded with great thought,
but financially, it ie of more benefit than
both preacher aud teacher, Today
editors do more for less pay than any
man on earth, Patronize your home
paper, not as a charity, but as an inveet-
ment.”’

“Twist your Lilly” is the name of an
